Club Information
The Old Fort Gun Club is an organization based in Fort Smith,
Arkansas, with over 800 members. Our goals are to support
Second Amendment rights, encourage safe and efficient handling
of firearms, to promote the shooting sports for people of all
ages and ability, and provide a convenient and safe location for
our members and guests to practice and compete with their firearms.
The Old Fort Gun Club is an affiliate club of the National Rifle
Association, and NRA membership is required for membership in the
Old Fort Gun Club. The Club is also a sponsor of an annual Friends
of NRA Banquet, which is a fund raising activity for support of
shooting activities in Arkansas.
The Old Fort Gun Club currently has two shooting locations. The
"River Range," located a few miles north of Barling, Arkansas,
consists of approximately 35 acres. Facilities include seven
pistol bays 30 to 45 yards deep, a 100 yard rifle range, a 300 yard
rifle range, and an area for shotgun clays. A second range is
located near Alma, Arkansas, and is used for sporting clays
competition, but also has areas for handgun and shorter rifle ranges.
All ranges are outdoors, although most have covered shooting stations.
Annual dues and range maintenance fees can be found on links to the
Membership information. There are no additional charges for use of
either range for members, and all family members under 20 years of
age are included in your membership. Nominal fees are charged for
competition matches, to help defray the costs associated with those
activities.
The Old Fort Gun Club caters to anyone who owns a firearm. From the
serious competitor, to the casual plinker, to those who just need a
good facility to sight in their hunting firearms, we have a place for
everyone.
The Old Fort Gun Club sponsors several types of organized competition.
Practical Pistol, under the auspices of USPSA/IPSC. Cowboy Action
Shooting, as governed by SASS. CMP long range high power rifle shooting.
Sporting Clays, held at the Alma Range. Smallbore Rifle, and a variety
of Silhouettes matches. We also sponsor several Youth Programs, to
encourage youngsters to safely enjoy the shooting sports. Links to all
these special activities are available on the home page.
Safety is our byword. Enjoyment of the shooting sports is our goal.
We’ve been very successful at both for many, many years. We hope you will
join us. Shoot Safe, Shoot Often, and Share the Sport with Others.
